donau, why did you give the Q7 a 1 for it's size? I guess the best possible grade is 5 right?

Thanks for the question Giannis. I think the Q7 is too big, and of the available choices 1 was made to correspond to "do not like it". I guess giving a 1 for the size might sound like I hate it too, but I certainly don't dislike it intensly. I am a big fan of Audis (even my username here reflects that) and just think the car is too big for me to ever consider it for myself. I like the BMW X3 size. An Audi SUV that would have the size of an X3 and look like Q7 inside, and just slightly altered "new" Audi look outside, would probably result in an SUV that for me would be "Simply Amazing", i.e. greater than the sum of it's parts (that I used to grade it).

ok, thanks for the clear up donau!


BTW, if i were you i would give it a 2 or 3. The difference between an X3 and a Q7 is not that big. Though, if it had the size of a huge truck, then i could give it a 1..

Yeah, in hindsight maybe I should have too. I just voted quickly and went by the descriptions next to the numbers too. I guess it would have deserved an overall 4 from me, but unfortunately I can't change my vote. Anyways, not serious

The Cayenne Turbo used to be my choice for SUV, but the Q7 has replaced it.

5 !

I gave it a four. In my opinion the weakest point of the regular Q7 is the front styling, and the V12 version addresses that particular aspect quite nicely. Nevertheless, I'm not falling head over heels in love with the design, maybe when I see it in the metal.
The technical side is of course very impressive, and if I had the money to buy a luxury SUV (and the need for one...) this just might be the one I'd choose.
